We've wrapped up our six-day trip to New York City with a visit to the 31st Annual Sports Emmys, an evening that featured the presentation of a Lifetime Achievement Award to the incomparable John Madden and a variety of awards for our partners at NBC Sports.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and NBC Universal Sports & Olympics Chairman Dick Ebersol presented the award to Madden. As Jones and Ebersol took the stage, Ebersol pretended to shoot video of Jones with a cell phone, a nod to the recently-publicized recording of Jones talking about former Cowboys coach Bill Parcells and quarterback The Golden Calf of Bristol.

In accepting the award, Madden was, well, Madden -- charming and engaging and plain-spoken and hilarious.

Cris Collinsworth????? who replaced Madden on Sunday Night Football, was named Outstanding Sports Personality, Sports Event Analyst. Bob Costas, the host of Football Night in America, was named Outstanding Sports Personality, Studio Host.

NBC's Sunday Night Football received the nod for Outstanding Live Sports Series, and NBC's broadcast of Super Bowl XLIII won the Emmy for Outstanding Live Sports Special.

Also, our friends at NBCSports.com secured the hardware for Outstanding New Approaches -- Short Format for Countdown to Vancouver.

Oh, and Sunday Night Football Extra on NBCSports.com was nominated for Outstanding New Approaches -- Sports Event Coverage. And we lost, likely due to the poor quality of the smartass comments provided on a weekly basis by a certain Internet hack who shall remain nameless, but who would have claimed credit for the whole thing if we had won.

And, yes, I specifically did not mention the nomination in advance, in order to avoid jinxing our chances. So much for Italian superstitions.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      I would say the extremes from both camps in these conversations have to do with the blurring of the fact Bryce is a first overall pick and the expectations for that draft slot fair or not far exceed just being a top 20-25 starter amongst your peers. Regardless. All logical Panthers fans want him to be the answer.

      The offseason is always when hope springs eternal. If you look past that, you can see a very bad roster with a lot more questions than definitive answers. Let's hope we get a lot of those right, because I think we are a lot closer to another impatient Tepper reset than we probably think.

      These arguments are getting more and more disingenuous from both the pro and anti Bryce crowd. Bryce looked very good for stretches down the final 8 games. He finally showed glimpses of the guy that was projected as a top QB pick in the draft. Bryce also didn't look like a top 10 NFL QB.  I think we are so far removed from Prime Cam that we forget what an elite QB looks like. I could tell that when people were losing their minds and simping for Sam Darnold. This season needs to finally showcase Bryce as a franchise talent. If that doesn't happen, it's time to pivot. There are very few recent examples of QB's struggling or being a mixed bag through the first three seasons of starting and then suddenly becoming frachise caliber players.
